Cats are the ultimate narcissists. You can tell this by all the time they spend on personal grooming. Dogs aren't like this. A dog's idea of personal grooming is to roll in a dead fish. - James Gorman
I don't know if I am a nar-cis-cist, whatever that means. But I do know I need to wash my face, lick my paw, rub it across my ears, eyes and nose. Rinse and repeat, over and over.
About my porch. Mum got it at Target. It is actually a collapsible portable kennel for woofies, so go and look in the woofie section. Its a Boot & Barkley thing. She got it last summer.
You know if we spent as much time grooming as they do on their hair... we'd really be clean!

We taught our woofie to wash his face like a kitty. We like to help him out too. Haven't noticed any dead fish, though. That porch of yours looks like fun. Mooommmmm!! Can we have one?
ReplyDeletemommy finks that kitties washing their faces is the cutest fing in the werld!
ReplyDeleteDerby, I like my man cats clean so keep up the good work. FAZ
ReplyDeleteEven cleaning you are quite manly. My human loves that shot where both paws are on your face.
ReplyDeleteI dun know what a nar-cis-cist is. But I do know that you are just being a good cat. Grooming is impawtant in keeping one cute and handsome.

Happy Monday, Derby. Having a bath and face-licking is very manly. Rolling in fish (like a d.o.g.) is NOT manly. hehehe
ReplyDeleteI like your porch, and I hope my mammacat gets on for me too!
purrs,

Oh Derby, the picture of you with both paws on your face is adorable, but in a man-cat kind of way : )
ReplyDeleteDerby I think you folded your ear over in that last shot! Is it ok now? Folded ear or not, you are a mancat I look up to!
ReplyDelete"I'm gettin' a porch, I'm gettin' a porch!" Thanks for the info handsome, clean manly cat!
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that it takes my mom a lot longer to accomplish about the same thing!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the porch...cats using dog things??
